While there appears to be no obvious etymological connection between Beatrice/Beatrix and Elizabeth/Elisabeth, anecdotal evidence [AC, BA, BH/GMcC] exists for the names being interchangeable [i.e. synonymous] in Scotland, possibly through the common pet name, Betty. One correspondent [AK] suggests that the names are etymologically similar but hard evidence does not appear in official sources. In "Tracing Scottish Ancestors", Rosemary Bigwood asserts that Beatrix is Anglicized as Elizabeth but supporting sources are lacking.

Betty or Bettie is a common diminutive for the name Elizabeth.[1] In Latin America, it is also a common diminutive for the given name Beatriz, the Spanish form of the Latin name Beatrix and the English name Beatrice. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it was more often a diminutive of Bethia.[2]
